It was Monday all day... Monday's the kids are very loud - kind of excited to be back at school with all their friends. They played well today. Miss Kelly is still out, so we had a "Play" day and practiced the play in different scenes and then all together as a group. Many of the kids know their lines, and only a couple didn't have a clue, but it was Monday!
On Mondays, typically, the children have forgotten their table manners and eat next to nothing. We made sloppy Joes today with salad, grapes and oranges. They ate some of it. Usually we throw out as much as we serve on Mondays. Not sure why, but that's what Mondays are like.
On Mondays half the children have forgotten most of the rules, can't figure out how to be quiet, how to stand in line without knocking the person in front of them over. They have forgotten how to flush a toilet or ask nicely for something. They can't sit, and they certainly don't want to listen. Getting back "at it" takes nearly a whole day. But Tuesdays are spendid.
Tuesday is picture day. We will practice the play a lot on Tuesday while Miss Beve is working. Today at practice my best students were Kamden, Emma, Andrew, Javeon, Jillian, Meme, and Skylar. Thanks to all the parents for working witht their children.
Because it's Monday, half of the children could not figure out how to put on their coats. We have a routine for going outside. Everyone goes to the bathroom first and washes hands. Then we get our coat. If a child is having problems with your coat, you need to go to the red carpet for help. Well it was keystone cops, and the kids couldn't figure out what to do first. But tomorrow is Tuesday, and they will be listening tomorrow!
The candy sales are moving slowly! We hope this picks up soon. If you need a new box, please please ask for it. If candy is not moving, let us know.
It should be a very nice day tomorrow; looks like rain - at least some of the day.
We have a new student named Ethan.
We are enjoying the outdoor world.
